Perspective --- Putting it all in focus

Tonight, the first night of the new year, I went on a date with my very sexy husband. Just the two of us. It felt good. Life has been hectic for me lately and as we talked I started on a diatribe of complaints about work and kids and business and marketing and house chores....and he looked at me and said, "Isn't all that exciting?" I was like, "Yea, but, it's so much work....and I'm tired."

But that one comment had me thinking, maybe that's my problem, perspective. I wouldn't want it any other way. I love all that I have to do. But I'm not enjoying it as much as I should and the truth is that these are the moments that I will miss. I'm gonna miss this but the complaints are some sort of payoff mentally and I need to give it up b/c it's weighing me down and keeping me from enjoying, fully enjoying doing the exact things that I dreamed about. My life is good. Really good and I like it!

So. I started a grateful jar. I am going to fill it up with things that made me happy throughout the year. I'm already excited.


This little video reminded me of all things to be grateful about.
